Alcohol and diving...how could anything go wrong?

I'm so horrified by the coral "harvest" that I almost missed the greased up misshapen diver.

nothing wrong with his shape - if a little "1930s muscular" but yes, that coral disaster is horrifying. perhaps they're from NatGeo and have a permit...

He looks oddly topheavy to me, maybe it's the angle.

"Canadian Club, Official Whiskey of National Geographic" is a fabulous ad campaign. :D

He looks like he's made of plastic and the shot done in a studio with bad lighting.

The coral was going to die anyway. Based on the looks of the diver it appears that a tanker of baby oil lost its load nearby.

That site has quite a collection! :)

why do they all look at each other like "who's getting naked first, mate?"

Why are they wearing pith caps?

So... an American ad for a Canadian whisky with an Australian theme. Ooooo-kay!

(And speaking as an Australian - I hope a shark or stingray gets 'em! *eg*)
